If you're up for it: I just uploaded the complete "Jill of the Jungle" trilogy for MS-DOS to the Internet Archive. This one comes on a single 5.25" 1.2MB HD diskette.

Here's the first episode of the oldschool trilogy from Epic MegaGames: "Jill of the Jungle". For MS-DOS.

ENJOY!

I was shocked to see how few people know of #OpenTyrian for Linux, one of the best ports! It's free on the Ubuntu repos. After installation, run 'game-data-packager tyrian' on a terminal, and it will create a .deb file for you on your home folder. Install the deb, and you'll have all the game data available for the game to work properly. Very enjoyable game!

Running here on my Linux Mint.

Heute hab ich mal wieder was für die Retro-Sammlung getan und das deutsche Handbuch, sowie ein Set von mehreren 5 1/4 Zoll Disketten für das PC-Spiel "The Humans" ins Internet Archive geladen. Das Handbuch - für PC & Amiga - hatte ich bisher quasi noch gar nirgends im Netz gesehen.

Das Handbuch:

Viel Spaß!

I just uploaded another part of the celebrated "Commander Keen" series to the Internet Archive: "Keen Dreams" in a Gamers Edge release from 1992, Version 1.91a Registered. This one was sold on a single, 720K DD floppy disk. Commander Keen Is Up To His "Ears" in Vegetable Combat!

Have fun!

DOS box simply rocks - you can't get any closer to the original when playing DOS games

Blue Force (1993) by Tsunami - former Sierra Police Quest staff worked on this, as they didn't agree to the direction the PQ series was taking. Good police game à la Police Quest, however, technically better

The Great War a.k.a. History Line 1914-18 (German version) was an excellent turn-based strategy game by BlueByte. I am still playing it and can only strongly recommend it

This is an excellent adventure game that I have just completed recently (it has been on my list for quite a while). A clear recommendation due to its puzzles, atmosphere and overall gameplay

Enjoying a Quake II gaming session!!

So much memories!

Hab' ich in meiner kleinen Retro-Schublade im Internet Archive soeben tatsächlich die Menge von 333 archivierten Artefakten erreicht bzw. überschritten. Ist jetzt kein Weltrekord, aber ich fande es doch der kurzen Erwähnung wert. Liebe Grüße an alle Retro-Fans da draußen!

Playing a bit of Leisure Suit Larry tonight... this here is the Apple IIGS version on ScummVM. The soundtrack's pretty nice!

A quick follow-up to my earlier post about the "IBM PS/2 Model 30-286". I just couldn't wait to check out a few games on this 1987 machine. And oh boy... this little 10MHz beast can do mighty things!

As requested, I just uploaded beautiful, 600dpi box scans for the SimCity Add-Ons "Architecture 1&2" to the Internet Archive. These boxes, without any changes, except a small sticker on the bottom, were used interchangeably for both IBM-PC and Amiga releases. Probably others, too.

As always - have fun!

I just added several SimCity Architecture packs to the Internet Archive. Original Amiga and PC versions. Loads of fun from 1990/91!
